Cucumber

Characterized by a light, refreshing flavor and crisp aroma. High water content and satisfying crunch

• Look for cucumbers with sharp bumps on the surface and taut, glossy skin.

• Uniform thickness and a satisfyingly heavy feel indicate freshness.

• Store upright in the refrigerator vegetable compartment with the stem end up.

• Wrap in newspaper or paper towel to prevent drying out.

• Avoid over-chilling as cucumbers are susceptible to cold damage.
